    </p>
	<p>
     You can reach this dialog the following ways: 
	</p>
    <ul>
      <li>
        Select a JAR or Java project, open the context menu and select Properties &gt; Javadoc Location or use&nbsp;<strong>Properties</strong> from the <a href=
        "ref-menu-file.htm">File menu</a>
      </li>
      <li>
        In the Javadoc generation wizard, on the Standard doclet settings page, choose&nbsp;<strong>Configure</strong>
      </li>
    </ul>
	<p>
    Javadoc can be attached to JARs, class folders or Java projects. For projects it documents the elements of all source folders, 
	for JARs and class folders, elements contained in the JAR are documented. The location is used by

    <ul>
      <li>

      </li>
      <li>
        <a href="ref-export-javadoc.htm">Javadoc Export Wizard</a> to link to other documentation or as default destination for a project's documentation
      </li>
    </ul>
	<p>
    Valid locations are URLs that point to a folder containing the API documentation's&nbsp;<em>index.html</em> and&nbsp;<em>package-list</em> file. Examples are:
